I own a BSG sim, BSG21

We have a script for wireless communication, it does some tricks to keep the communications from listened to by the evil cylons.

So the wireless device is no transfer, no modify.

We are replacing a titler that looked at a mysql database. It was suggested that I build the titler into the wireless set which everyone is required to do.

Are there any examples you can point me to for how to write a titler?

How do titlers store their information so they are the same when the user logs back in again.

Can my titler be no-modify? I don't think so, but I would really understand it if I knew how titlers worked.

---modification----
I've thought about this some more.

If the titler must be modify, perhaps the wireless device itself can by modify BUT, the wireless script be no mod. Once I see how a titler is designed it will make more sense to me.

I found this flip title code thread.

I am trying to figure out if I can use it and if it stores the title and what lines of code do it.

I understand now that titlers are prims with a shape to center the title over the users head.

Building it into an ear mounted wireless set will cause the title to display inside someones head.

I think this project is in need of abort codes.

Add a transparent prim to the headset, position it so that it's centered over the head, and add the titler script to that?
